Jeep Compass YEARS

REVIEWS

It unleashes the true power inherent in the two-liter diesel engine. The additional 40 hp / 29.4 kW and the enormous torque that's already available between 1,750 and 2,500 rpm, are the result of an auxiliary control module that governs the engine electronics.

Since WWII Jeep has been the most macho nameplate around. Now the company is risking that equity on two car-based four-cylinder crossovers, hopefully without bringing down the brand's well-honed reputation.
